Large picture frame commission #2: Carving completed

That’s sure going to be a fabulous looking frame.

It looks great, even without the final finish.

I didn’t realize how BIG the frame was!

Gorgeous as always.

Beautiful work Roger!

I like it, Roger. It reminds me of the best of the “Scrim” work done by sailors of yesteryear. Good work.

Great job. This reminds me, I used to do a lot of chip carving, need to sharpen the knife and get back in the swing. Your detail work will serve as an inspiration, as well as a really high level of craftsmanship to reach! Thanks for the progress photos too.

That is just huge. I appreciate the post. It looks great

Nice work Roger, its great to see you actually carving the wood and the layout of your workshop. A couple of questions for you.

Is that magnifying glasses over your eyes? and, Is the lettering printed onto tracing paper?

I look forward to seeing the assembled, finished frame.

Colin, yes I’m looking thru the glasses. I do print the lettering onto tracing paper then use transfer paper to get it on the frame. Thanks for asking.

Lee, the design stage is the slow part of a project for me. I’ll bet I have 20 hrs. in design alone and spent $50 on reference material and research. Making the frame was about 6 hrs. Slow again!

I delivered the frame yesterday to the customer which was very happy with the finished piece. He still has to get the painting cleaned and repaired but said when that was complete he would send pictures to me. I’ll post pictures when I get them. He also said that he was going to donate the painting to a museum. YES!
